Our attitude toward life determines
life's attitude towards us. Nightingale, Earl
We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are. Nin, Anais
Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that
determines our success or failure. The way you think about a fact may defeat
you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because
you think you are. Peale, Norman Vincent
Never elated when someone's oppressed, never dejected when another one's
blessed. Pope, Alexander
Always keep that happy attitude. Pretend that you are holding a beautiful
fragrant bouquet. Pope, Candice M.
You play the hand you're dealt. I think the game's worthwhile. Reeve, Christopher
Great effort springs naturally from a great attitude. Riley, Pat
If you have a positive attitude and constantly strive to give your best
effort, eventually you will overcome your immediate problems and find you
are ready for greater challenges. Riley, Pat
We have unprecedented conditions to deal with and novel adjustments to make
-- there can be no doubt of that. We also have a great stock of scientific
knowledge unknown to our grandfathers with which to operate. So novel are
the conditions, so copious the knowledge, that we must undertake the arduous
task of reconsidering a great part of the opinions about man and his relations
to his fellow men which have been handed down to us by previous generations
who lived in far other conditions and possessed far less information about
the world and themselves. We have, however, first to create an unprecedented
attitude of mind to cope with unprecedented conditions, and to utilize unprecedented
knowledge. Robinson, James H.
I've always believed that you can think positive just as well as you can
think negative. Robinson, Sugar Ray
Attitude is your acceptance of the natural laws, or your rejection of the
natural laws. Rohn, Jim
It's easy to let life deteriorate into making a living instead of making
a life. It's not the hours you put in, but what you out into the hours that
count. Learn to express rather than impress. Expressing evokes a ''me too''
attitude while impressing evokes a ''so what'' attitude. Rohn, Jim
There are only 3 colors, 10 digits, and 7 notes; its what we do with them
that's important. Ross, Ruth
There are times when you just get down, you feel like nobody likes you.
We're in high school forever. It's just what we do with it. Russo, Rene
An optimist may see a light where there is none, but why must the pessimist
always run to blow it out? Saint-Pierre, Michel De
Don't be against things so much as for things. Sanders, Col. Harland
Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door.
Schlessinger, Dr. Laura
An attitude to life which seeks fulfillment in the single-minded pursuit
of wealth -- in short, materialism -- does not fit into this world, because
it contains within itself no limiting principle, while the environment in
which it is placed is strictly limited. Schumacher, E. F.
Eagles come in all shapes and sizes, but you will recognize them chiefly
by their attitudes. Scott, Charles Prestwich
Adopting the right attitude can convert a negative stress into a positive
one. Selye, Hans
This is the precept by which I have lived: Prepare for the worst; expect
the best; and take what comes. Speer, Robert E.
